Hippies interfering with natural selection. Only the dumb ones are beaching themselves. Let them remove themselves from the gene pool. The dolphins should be steaked and served up as sushi. The Japanese know what's up with Flipper steak.

The only thing uglier and dumber than Pit bulls are their owners. Why do most Pit Bull owners have food stamps and home-made tattoos? "I have a Pit Bull and it hasn't bitten anyone"...yet. We used to hear about German Shepherds, Rotweillers and Dobermans being dangerous. Pit Bulls have left them in the dust for years. The dog officer should be fired for making such a naive statement.

Come on folks, let a player play! it doesn't matter who the woman in the car was or that blood alcohol level stuff. Let it go or your Masslive posts will mysteriously disappear. All that matters is that poor Barry had to suck hospital food through a straw and he fell behind in his tanning sessions. His eyes will be back to tracking the tele-prompter soon enough.

My wife and I both teach in Westfield. I can assure you that teachers are not afraid of students, and we address bullying. We are astonished that the stories don't have justifiable endings with the victims parents going over for a "visit". As teachers we can attest to the rotten apple not falling far from the rotten tree.

For every dollar in services cut two or three are lost later. Our taxes are lower than most of the surrounding communities. An $800 increase would put us in the middle. Sunderland residents have been getting a great deal for many years. Now it is time to ante up, pay our bills and be responsible. This was not caused by overspending or the school. The state blind-sided us with cuts. We need time to make good decisions. An over-ride for this year would provide that. We can make some cuts, but no night police, no trash pick-up and 30+ in elementary classrooms are more pricey down the road than $800. Even if you have no children you are repaying a debt for the education you received. There are provisions for the elderly to get relief on the proposed increases. Any "no voters" out there want to explain how 35 first graders with one teacher is a good idea? It is clear Sunderland needs a re-vote. Let's get the signatures and do what's right!
